Vancouver's First Labor Temple, 1898. Was in fact an old Methodist Church on the corner of Homer and Dunsmuir Streets. It was purchased and remodeled through shares sold by the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council under a specially created company called the Vancouver Labour Temple Co. Ltd. With the growth in labour organizing, the accommodation became inadequate. (Drawing courtesy of the Carpenters' Union of B.C.)
